Fungi play a variety of roles in the ecosystem. Discuss briefly each of the following roles stated below. Give specific examples whenever possible.
1. Decomposers
2. Mycorrhizae
3. Lichen Symbiont
4. Endophyte
5. Plant Pathogen
Distinguish between mycorrhizae and lichens.
Both Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes form ectomycorrhizal associations with plants. Another
group of fungi, the Glomeromycota, form endomycorrhizal partnerships. Which answer below best
